Best Of VA Missed Connections December 30 – January 5

RVA Staff | January 5, 2021

Topics: Assassin's Creed, best of missed connections, craigslist, Craigslist Missed connections, GameStop, missed connections, richmond craigslist, Sur La Table, Taqueria Maria Bonita

It’s 2021, and wading through spam has become the full-time job of the Missed Connections trawler. I wouldn’t blame any of you if you’re not even going to that page on Craigslist anymore, just waiting for me to do it so you don’t have to click through a million of those spam posts with the circled letters. After the year we’ve had, it seems like it’s par for the course at this point.

That said, there’s still entertainment to be had in the Missed Connections if you’re willing to dig. For example, the adorable nerds making connections over Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla at a GameStop in the suburbs. Or the middle-aged guy hitting on his goddaughter’s friend at the bar — who ended up on the MCs because he knew his goddaughter would never pass along his message. Play on, player.

You can tell 2020 isn’t that far gone by the people seeking prepper partners to plan their strategy for the apocalypse. But don’t worry, there are still way more people who come to Craigslist to be pervy. It takes all kinds to make the Missed Connections what they are.

One thing, though: if you find yourself venting about other people’s homosexuality, I’m gonna have to wonder if you’re really just projecting. And so is everybody else.

Don’t play yourself, Virginia.

My Goddaughter’s Friend (Northern VA)

You 22, Blonde long hair at a bar in Fairfax. You’re a friend of my Goddaughter.

You said you and your girlfriends have talked about me but you were too shy to act but wanted to since you have a thing for older men like me, 40s. It was nice being called a DILF by you.

Since I can’t really ask her for your number, I hope you see this so we can work on those kinks, maybe invite one of your girlfriends too you talked about before your friends came in and took you away. I wish I would have asked for your number before we parted ways.

It’d be nice to meet up.

Taqueria Maria Bonita (Williamsburg)

Been thinking about you non-stop. I should have said something to you. You gave me a wink, and I just kept staring at you. Maybe you will see the title of this and reply back? There was definitely a connection. I can’t keep you out my head. Hope to hear from you!

Can’t stop thinking about you (Chesterfield)

Handsome chocolate distinguished Lakers fan!!

You approached me at Wawa from the back at the drink cooler we shared some laughs and exchanged smiles and names….. but you left before I was able to give you my number.

Can’t stop thinking about how you made me smile and how easy it was to talk to you. Email me and tell me what my name is …. eagerly waiting your reply

Fixation? Fascination? (Newport News)

I don’t believe it qualifies as an obsession. I don’t want to miss a connection with a woman that wants the attention up above
(.)(.)

Can you see the End times are here? (D.C)

Are you a prepper? Need a cuddle buddy in your bunker ? Have any plans on how you’re going to deal with the coming of the antichrist ?

If u know what I can plainly see then you know so many are blind …

Let’s trade notes and exit strategies!

Anyone not responding specifically to the contents of this ad will be immediately erased

Include pic and contact info with response

in white car / you told me I was beautiful (Fulton Hill/Williamsburg Rd.)

You’re a black male in a white car who stopped, smiled and told me I was beautiful. I said thank you, got shy and walked away. I wish I would have turned around and kept talking to you. Normally it’s not my style to talk to men after such encounters, but there was something about you.

If it’s you, write back and let me know what I look like and was wearing.

Lord have mercy (Richmond)

Ladies what have you done to the men out here. They have turned gay just to get some head. I cant post nothing without some homo responding. Come on dude I dont wanna talk to you about nothing unless you giving me your mom’s number or your sister.

Girl working GameStop forest hill ave

You were beautiful, I can in to get assassins creed Valhalla and you complimented my last name. I felt like maybe there was a connection or I was just lost in your eyes. . If you see this send me an email telling me something about that day only you would know.

Sur La Table Associate (Stony Point)

Your name tag said Julie or Julia. You assisted me a couple of times. I found myself attracted to your low-key attitude, your eyes, the way you moved, your sly smile, and your soft touch when handing me change. I liked your energy.

I’m older than you, reasonably fit, shaved head, glasses.

I came back looking for you a few times, but you were gone. Wanted to make a proper introduction and explore a connection.

After a year you obviously still occupy my thoughts.

If this finds you, and you’re curious, send a headshot so I know it’s you.

then don’t…we could stay here and start a jazz band (park hyatt, tokyo- but really DC)

I’m Bob ……

Target Hiltop – VB (First Colonial Target)

Hey. Ran into you at Target after Christmas and we randomly started talking about our holiday and we’re looking for any sales on games for New Years. We were talking about games we have played that we liked and vice versa. Really surprised your sparked up a conversation and it was a pleasure talking to you. If you see this, get back to me. Love to play board games with you and whatever else we want to do.

Best of VA Missed Connections January 1 – January 7

RVA Staff | January 7, 2020

New year, new you, and new Missed Connections! Our first weekly installment of the roaring (20)20’s finds a lot of positive sentiment marking the dawn of a new decade. It’s a remarkable wave of goodwill to start the year off, but how long will it last?

Well, keep reading, because if you guessed “not even til the end of this week,” you’re definitely right, because before too long, we’ll be wandering among New Year’s resolutions that involve foot fetishes, along with fierce “no homo” type declarations from hikers who protest WAY too much. Thankfully, we’ve also got meet-cutes at the Tobacco Company and old-fashioned crushes from the roller rink to even it all out.

I’m not at all sure about the people seeking grandparent figures for their teenager on Craigslist, but I am stoked to see people lusting after Waffle House waitresses… even though, for me, what I really lust after at Waffle House is a triple order of hash browns. Scattered, smothered, covered, diced, peppered, and capped, if you please. Now THAT’s some good eating.

Dig in, Virginia.

Happy New Year to my friends! (Fluvanna County)

To my old friends,and new friends,please have a safe and happy time! Let’s make the coming year the best it can be. Enjoy and cherish your good times and leave behind the bad times. If anyone has less friends than hoped for,you can count on me as a new and good friend. I hope to hear good news!

Promise made to myself (Charlottesville Area)

For a New Years resolution,I promised myself not to be so critical or fussy about others. Perhaps if I’m more tolerant,my getting older won’t be so bad. Does anyone here have a similar story and need to talk through a hurtful situation?

If Possible I Would Age Swap With An Elderly/Senior Citizen (Roanoke, Virginia)

If it truly was possible to swap ages, I would be willing to trade my age with any senior citizen/elderly woman or man that lives in either Roanoke or Salem, VA.

Backpacking / Hiking partner (Woodford)

Hi,..anyone interested in backpacking….NO I AM NOT GAY….

Question for women (Kempsville)

Ladies… Do you like having your toes kissed? Does it turn you on?

New Year’s resolution! Finding a female friend with nice feet (Hampton Roads)

Everyone has a New Year’s resolution, everything from losing weight, saving money, or making a major purchase. I am searching for a mature woman who I can be friends with and also massage and admire her feet. I know, it’s a little out of left field and some are thinking “One of those guys who likes feet.”. I am being honest as I work a lot and would love to find someone who is doesn’t mind being friends with a guy who likes feet. Feet don’t have to be all done up and perfect, race doesn’t matter, and size doesn’t matter. So if interested, and yes their are perks to this friendship, please email me. I am not looking for anything more than that, I wish there was a proper channel to post an ad like this, but I do believe that their is someone who can make my one of my New Year’s resolution come true. If interested please email me, if you have constructive criticism please email me, if you have questions than please email me. Happy New Year’s!!!!

Downtown New Years Eve (Cville)

Downtown New Years Eve. At a restaurant, you with a guy and me with a woman. You spoke to me when I walked by and you also said goodbye when you passed on your way out. New Year…maybe be new friends? Hope to hear from you. What restaurant?

Hot beer slinger at Mustang Sally’s about 2 years ago (Richmond)

You were the best bartender I’ve ever seen. I’ve been deployed and came back only to see a new name and no you. I saw you comfort a customer who’s dog died,you stepped in between two bikers and got them out and down the road with no altercation,poured 25 komokizes shots, got a regular drunk into a uber and never missed a beat with all the conversations thrown at you. Miss Sallie where are you?

Super fly hotty at the skate center (Salem)

I saw you at the skate center yesterday and it was hard to keep my eyes off you. You was thick and curvy, tall blonde white female, light blue jeans, grey shirt and white vans type sneakers. You had a lil girl with you in dark color clothing. You had a white belt with a rather unique buckle. You left me with fantasies in my head. I was the guy sitting alone with the grey sweat pants and red long sleeve shirt by the fun zone. If your interested reply back with what your belt buckle was. I really hope u respond Q T!!

Home Depot Carmia (Bon Aire)

We were at Home Depot with our grey dog and you said how much you liked him, you were helping a friend move and your friend was scared of our dog. We were to shy to tell you how much we liked you and wish we had!

Any cougars or panthers on the prowl? (Ashland)

Meow! Ladies only!!!Wanna have some fun with a youngish white boy with lots of tattoos? Consensual play desired. No p2p. Open to all races and body types skinny chubby or bbw. Can host or travel. Im 39.

Where is my uniformed guy

You were literally my dark knight in uniform. You were “new to all of this” but we hit it off great. I had hoped my search was over.

in search of intellectual and genuine peeps

i moved up in the highlands about a year ago, and being a transplant from baltimore makes it more difficult.

i’m in blacksburg right now and last night i met some great people at the underground. i need more of that. having a broad education and being clever goes a long with me.

this is not spam or a morning blow-n-go. i really need conversations to stimulate my gray matter and restore my wild imagination and insightful creativity.

will you talk to this poor lonely soul who believes in gravity because it brings us and everything together in circles and spheres? 

Zions Walmart (Zions crossroads)

You were in Walmart solo today around 2:45. I was in line behind you. You are M. Tall with dark hair, tattoos and I noticed when you checked out you flashed a badge. You were definitely some nice eye candy. Tell me what you were wearing as it’s pretty specific . And btw I’m a F but wasn’t alone

Looking for Grandparents (Highland Springs)

This is a long shot but, I have a 16 year old son who wants grandparents, his passed away several years ago, and it’s a subject he talks about all the time, he stays to himself, and has a heart of gold.I work shift work, and try to spend as much time with him as possible, couldn’t ask for a better young man. But what I see he hurts for , really hurts.

Car Man (Colonial Heights)

Getting gas on Sunday morning…interested in chatting about cars

Me: Mature WM you 30ish BM. Tell be type of car we talked about and where we were.

Tobacco Company Club – seated at bar, introduced me to White Claws (Richmond)

NYE celebrations in TCC. You were seated at the bar seat next to me for some time. I drank my Woodford Reserve on the rocks and asked you about your drink – White Claw – because I had seen them before but never knew what they were.

We chatted back and forth. Your attitude was very bubbly and happy every time we interacted. Good conversation was had and there was definitely a flirty vibe between us. The energy you were putting off was incredible but I got pulled away by one of my buddies. Did not get your name prior. 😅

I was wearing a white T with an angel wing pendant on. My navy blue blazer was in my lap while we chatted.

Here is to hoping this missed connection thing produces some results. Would enjoy getting to know more about you. 🤔 Maybe this time we can start with exchanging names? 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😂

Skirt with maroon tights at Neighborhood walmart (Va bch)

You were in the Neighborhood Walmart on Holland and Buckner (near Shipps Corner) in Sunday evening. You were tall and fit and wearing a denim skirt with maroon/cranberry tights underneath, and a tight fitting yellow sweater and boots. OH MY GOD you are the hottest girl to ever walk into a Walmart . I know you noticed me with my jaw dropped. You got into a silver rav4 – you look so amazing, I must see you again. Hit me back

Cute guy in Walmart around 2 o’clock (va beach)

We ran into each other a few times walking down the isles. You looked at me and smiled. You’re a white guy short brown hair dark jeans and a tight shirt. Tell me what I was wearing

Food Lion M4F (Great Bridge)

Saw you shopping today and just wanted to say you are absolutely gorgeous. I wanted to say something but didn’t want to be that creepy guy.

Kroger Willow Lawn (Willow Lawn)

Sunday night. Flower lady.

Kroger Sunday night (Tuckahoe)

Looking for the gentleman I made eye contact with then spoke to Sunday at Kroger. Would like to further our chat. Where were you from and where were we talking…answer these to let me know it was you.

Waffle house waitress (dinwiddie/petersburg)

You waited on me early morning reddish hair glasses I will say you are a beautiful woman ! You got my attention.

Petsmart vcc muscle car

You were blonde ,very sexy walking out of petsmart and getting into your nice ride. Black pants ,blue shirt. I think you saw me looking at you.

Dave Chapelle & you in a pic (Miller’s)

I wanted to stop everything and stay in that moment as long as possible. I was drunk tho, and thought it tacky at the time to further our connection. Also, it was so nice to just be in that moment.

Target – Staples Mill (Henrico)

Surprised we were the only ones in store Sunday. (LOL) You seem like a nice person. Any chance I could buy you a cup of coffee?

In line at Target last night (S Laburnum Ave.)

We were in line just before close. You had a few more things and let me go a head of you. I thought you were super cute. If this is you reply with what I was buying. If you’re on Quickmeet let me know what name you go by.

To the Cute Lady at Panera Bread in Midlothian (midlothian, VA)

Hello. We briefly talked today in Panera Bread Midlothian as I was leaving the place. You were with your child. I just wanted to let you know that you are so cute and beautiful lady. I hope you see this. Thanks

To the girl working late at Taco Bell (Virginia Beach)

I saw you looking at me last night. And it’s not the first time. If you’re interested, say something. You might like the response you get.

Frisby’s New Years day around oneish (Powhatan)

If you see this…Frisby;’ between noon & 1pm or so you were with an older lady sitting near the TV wearing yellow shirt, striped coat and lace up boots. I was eating with friends and we made eye contact several times. I thought that you were very attractive. What kind of car were you driving? Color?

Sexy Doctor!

You will most likely never see this, but I haven’t been able to stop thinking about your sexy smile and the fun we could have!

We shared a lot of quick laughs at a nice restaurant bar a few days before Christmas. Tell me where……

You – sexy, in shape female dr.

Oreillys Auto Hayes VA (Gloucester)

I was walking in O’Reillys Auto while you were I held the door for you and your son you have black hair, your eyes and smile are so beautiful should have asked if your seeing anyone. It was around 5- 5:15 pm if you see this call or text me would love to get to know you 

Best Of VA Missed Connections December 11 – December 17

Christmas time is here, and New Years Eve will be here soon after. But y’all, please do not find your ride home from the holiday season’s wild parties in the Missed Connections. This ain’t the Edgar Winter Group, and there’s no such thing as a free ride.

OK, now that we’ve got that warning out of the way, let’s enjoy the week’s highlights, from hardware store tool seekers to junkyard tool providers. Y’all are obsessed with tools out here. You don’t really know your equestrian terminology though, so here’s a hint: a stallion is a MALE horse, so you might not want to use that term for a woman you’re trying to impress.

You probably also shouldn’t take pictures of girls who don’t know you’re checking them out, especially if you intend to post said pictures on Craigslist either. Let’s dial it back on the creepiness just a bit, folks. After all… it’s the holiday season, Virginia.

Girl at Weezie’s Kitchen Tuesday night karaoke (Carytown)

I was sitting at the bar at Weezie’s during Tuesday night karaoke and you were sitting at a nearby table with friends. We made eye contact a couple of times. You were wearing a stocking cap and I thought you were really cute. I was a white guy wearing a blue shirt. If this sounds like you and if you thought I was cute too, write me back and we can grab a drink at Weezie’s sometime.

December 13, 2017

You’re in my thoughts. Always will be.

Does he ignore you? (Charlottesville Area)

If you are being ignored or just lonely,I’d like to talk to you. I understand the way things go after the beginning good years and maybe we can find a solution. Isn’t life too short to find ourselves not having that nice feeling about life anymore?! Write and let’s talk.

Free ride home. I’ll be your DD (Richmond)

I drive for a ride share on the weekends but I’d like to give some lucky female a “free” ride home at the end of the night. Conditions apply. Message me for details.

Hardware Store (Nelson Area)

I saw you in the hardware store. You were very masculine, rugged, and mature. We chatted briefly and you noticed I was interested in your tool. Something definitely looked like hardware. Would like to meet in private. Even if this sounds like you, please say hello. Be nice to have a Nelson friend.

Affair wanted (Richmond)

Married good looking male in a sexless marriage and looking for another female in the same situation.

Ideally this would be long term and very very discreet. Would have to meet in public place for coffee to talk and see if there is a connection.

I’m very handsome and professional. Clean cut business type.

ISO Lovely Middle Aged Lady

You, dear lady, are someone I’ve seen more than once in a few places. I get the impression that you’re something like me; early 60s, married quite a while to a spouse who hardly knows you’re there, much less satisfy the inner cravings of an aching heart and body. You may not be a beauty pageant winner, but you have an inner beauty that has won my heart. Please write me, and when you do include the name of a color and a vegetable so I’ll know you actually read this. Thank you, my dear, I’ll be waiting.

Utility Worker (Downtown)

Saw you on the smoking block. Did we share “looks” thought you were going to say hello when you walked to the trash can. HMU

Bob at junk yard

You helped by lending tools. You were removing bumper. I was getting seats!

Not looking for sex, just a tinker buddy!!

To Katie (Around)

My God you’re such a stallion! I’m sure you can tell it’s quite the pleasure to soak you in at times. Know that the sight of you is appreciated…especially in your athletic pants….but I do miss the dresses on your curvy girl frame. Hope to see you soon.

TS Dicks Sporting Goods/ miss connections (Fredericksburg/ WARRENTON RD)

Looking for me some good golf Clubs and Balls

Capital ale innsbrook (Glen allen)

You were the cute Asian guy who approached me at the bar, you just turned “21, like 2 min ago”. Tell me what you ordered

Attractive woman at Verizon store on west broad (West end.)

Our eyes met a few times yesterday(Saturday) at the Verizon store on broad, and I am sorry I didn’t come over and at least chat with you and see what your situation was. Hope you see this and we can chat

Matt B (Richmond)

I have seen you around work and you are cute. Saw you at the holiday party today and your were looking real good in your blue suit. If you see this and are bi, gay, let me know. If anyone else knows Matt, let me know

Petite at Chick-fil-A (Chesapeake)

Thank you for waving back at me today at lunchtime. You are a very lovely woman and you truly captured me! Beautiful blond hair and petite little woman. I have to be honest, I’m in a marriage that’s falling apart and I know it’s wrong to look at another woman and gesture. “I couldn’t help myself”. But it truly made my day that you acknowledged me and waved. I hope you’re a very happy soul and thank you for being so beautiful! Hope you have a wonderful weekend and Merry Christmas to you!

Chubby girl who works at CiCi’s in the Powerplant Parkway area (Hampton)

So you have worked at CiCi’s awhile. I don’t go there much, but everytime I do, you’re working and I just can’t help staring at you. You’re beautiful, that’s for sure. I hope it’s not too weird, but i took a pic of you to help so you’d know I’m talking about you. I tried talking to you personally, but you were so busy bussing. I’d like to talk if you see this. Email me back with a picture of yourself so I know it’s indeed you. Hope to hear from you soon. EDIT: Won’t let me post images.

Monday Monday (Richmond)

You and I used to say how we middle aged men always hate Mondays. Then we used to get together in your office and all of a sudden Monday was not so bad. We used to have a bunch of good laughs and your name is Dennis and mine is John. Do you remember me?

Bella at sheetz (Madison)

I wish we could have talked longer and I’d love to get to know you better… you asked about my sweatshirt, tell me what country it was from so I know it’s you

Pizza Guy (Oilville)

Picked up my order late last evening, you had difficulty with the register. Took awhile for you to check me out but gave me longer to check you out lol. You’re very handsome and I got a curious man vibe from you. I was totally interested but shy. Should have said something.

Saw you at Colonial Italian Restaurant (Colonial Heights)

We smiled at each other in the parking lot of Colonial Italian Restaurant in Colonial Heights on Tuesday afternoon as we were both approaching the restaurant to go in for lunch. You were a cute white female and I was a male wearing a grey jacket. You were with another guy so I figured that I shouldn’t come up and say hello, but then I realized that he might have just been a friend or coworker and I am regretting not saying anything to you. I thought you were really attractive and I’m hoping that you see this so that I can have the chance to take you out for lunch or a drink. If this sounds like you, feel free to send me a message with any questions.

Big Lick Brewery Friday (Roanoke)

You were with a guy, maybe he was just a friend? Ha You are a tall, sexy, beautiful blonde female in your 20’s. I thought we made some eye contact in the glances we exchanged, almost sure if it 😉 Hopefully you see this! Send me a message with what I was wearing 😉

I was with a few female friends enjoying some beers.

Enjoyed meeting you the other night (West Broad Village)

Hi, I was at Park Lane Tavern with some friends the other night and talked to you briefly. You were a pretty BBW (if I may say so when the best intention). We chatted for a while but then you had to go with your friends and I didn’t get your number. I would love to meet you again and talk some.

Female friend

Looking for a clean female friend to have fun with 420 friendly and love to drink and party send me pictures !!!

Missing you (Chesapeake)

We shared so many great memories together. It started because we were lonely in our relationships at the time… but then we grew into a relationship of our own. I never knew where I fit into your life , I guess that’s why I was always confused. Sometimes I think you cared more about me than you thought you could … maybe that’s why you let me go.

I believe you think of me often but you’re not sure how I’d react. I miss your voice and I miss seeing your smile… Those butterflies were always there whenever we met.
